Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie says she thinks investing in school camps that are affordable for a “range of parents” at schools and not just the more affluent parents are “critical”.

“Particularly public school – most of the kids in regional areas attend public schools and so I would be call on

school principals to maybe cut down on some more of the other things in the budget,” she told Sky News host Paul Murray.

I don’t know how many school camps she’s been on but they were always on a very tight budget clearly & a five star hotel was never a consideration!!! In fact once your bath towel got wet that’s how it stayed despite it being hung over the end of the bunk bed!!

I had some fantastic stay over interstate school trips at my public school in 1994.

I bet she'd put them in marginal electorates too...

Senior Victorian Nationals member says discussions around leaving the Coalition should be 'on the table'A senior Victorian National Party member pushes for his party to reconsider the Coalition agreement after the Labor's Party election victory. Given so many farmers nowadays believe in climate change and are actively taking steps to improve their environment, I think that’s a fair call. I reckon most people associate the Coalition at present with Coal and religious nut jobs…. Nationals are showing more connection between members and the people they represent than Libs. Should split and support policies that are best for their communities rather than having to follow the Libs who have lost their way. I would suggest the focus should be on getting into government and fighting a Labor govt that is impacting his own community. 🙄 foxdoom71

‘Great result’ for Victorian Nationals in state election: LittleproudNationals Leader David Littleproud says the Victorian Nationals achieved a “great result” in the state election on Saturday. He said this was due to “good local candidates” that are “connected to community”. “Three of the four new members of Parliament that will be going to Spring Street in Melbourne are women, strong women in their local communities, not just in the business sense but in the community sense,” Mr Littleproud told Sky News Australia. The divide between city and country couldn't be any wider. Some of our great hard working farmers might be wondering if Melbourne is full of stupid smart people. They would be right. Nats/Libs should run candidates in every seat & preference each other.

Nationals to oppose Indigenous Voice to ParliamentThe National party says it will campaign against a Voice to Parliament, which would enshrine an Indigenous-elected representative body into the constitution. Littleproud should close the gap of his fuckin mouth Good Job. Everyone should oppose Racist Laws We expected nothing less from the Nationals.. Low values and little to contribute to the country, that is the Nationals these days... Which makes sense that they work with the Liberal Party, neither care for the country or it's people.

Nationals leader defends vetting process after death of candidate facing sex assault chargesVictorian Nationals leader Peter Walsh says it would have been impossible to know a candidate was facing charges until it was actually on a court agenda. Being respectful to his family condolences on his Death, but I have to wonder what’s gonna happen to the people who made the allegations, if true, will they ever get the justice they deserve. A sad situation all round. The Nationals have had a long history of sleazebags in parliament. They and their friends One Nation. Misogynist peas in a pod and that’s the only green thing about them.

Nationals announce they will oppose the Voice to ParliamentThe minority party will oppose the Voice to Parliament but leader David Littleproud said they will not necessarily campaign against it. Via NITV NITV The Nats see themselves as the Voice for Regional Australia. However, they don't seem to want anyone else to have a voice, especially if they are First Nations people. Perhaps they are worried of acknowledging all the past misdeeds and crimes perpetrated on First Nations people? NITV Pathetic Bozo's NITV Excellent. We don't want apartheid in this country.
